I have an application which contains the database connection string plus some other keys containing file paths that the user needs to use stored on key at the app.config file of the application. Is there a way that I can let the user modify the value for those paths when installing the application? this is because depending on where the application is installed the user decide where to store some files, and that's what those paths in the app.config file are for. I created a msi installer for my application, but I haven't found (and still don't know if it's possible) how to let the user set properties to the app.config file when using my installer file.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

You can create a Custom Action using an Installer class that will run at the end of the install. You will have to add everything you need to do this to the installer class, such as maybe showing a custom dialog, the folder browser, etc. Since app.config files for some stupid reason were never designed to allow them to be updated dynamically, there is no built-in support for modifying them, so you will have to code that manually as well.
Sorry, no example code - this is too complicated to just write out.
Search for Installer class examples and tutorials...

I have 2 projects: one in ASP.NET and another in VC++(VC7). ASP.NET will be placed on Server and VC++ on Client.
The client will sent data to server and receive the data from server.
I want to debug as follow:
I set client as startup project and anytime the data is sent from client to server, I want the breakpoint I set before on server will be activate.
The server now is on localhost.
How can I do that????????

Since the debugger can attach to only one process at a time, you'll have to launch a second Visual Studio instance and attach it's debugger to the server. One instance will debug the server, the other instance will debug your client.

I don't understand your idea. Can you explain more details! Thanks!

What's so hard to understand? Launch a second copy of Visual Studio! One instance of VS will debug the server part and the second instance will debug the client.

I have a value in in textbox1 on form1 and want to use this value on form2.
I thought it was simple and proable is but once again I am lost?
I am new to VB my background is VBA.
In VBA simply me.textbox2.text = form1.textbox1.text

An it could be the same also in VB.NET. The point is that your question is not very clear to me. What are form1 and form2: public, private?
You have several ways of doing it.
1) When you need it inside form2 code simply go for:
Textbox2.Text = Form1.Textbox1.Text (as you wrote, but make sure Form1 is a real object)
2) Whenever something changes in Form1
Private Sub TextBox1_Changed(...) handles TextBox1.Changed ' (not sure if it's changed the event name, better double check)
Form2.TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text ' (again make sure Form2 is a real object)
End Sub
Hope it helps.
If it doesn't please state the problem/error

Add a reference to Microsoft Agent in your project's References or add the Microsoft Agent Control to your form and use the Set Char = Character.Load ("CharacterName", "CharacterFilePath") to load the character.

In VB6, is there a way to manage the printer spool for adding documents in stand-by mode, remove them when necessary, ... ?? I'm wondering if there's a way to do that not depending onto the printer selected.
Thanks in advance,

There are a number of API calls in Winspool.drv that allow you to monitor, alter and delete print jobs e.g. OpenPrinter, GetJob, SetJob, FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification etc.

Hello All,
I have developed an application using vb.net. Now I want to create its setup in InstallShield 10.5. The problem is that in the setup I need to check two things
1. Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 is installed
2. MDAC 2.7 is installed.
If any of them is not installed on the destination machine then install it else not.
Plz tell me how to achieve it. How to apply conditions on setup.
Thanx in Advance

I have a datagrid in which I have 'Paging' functionality of type numeric (pages 1 to 10....) and also a search functionality wherein the user enters say name or branchname or recordno in the text box and the datagrid searches the desired record/s.
My problem is the 'search' functionality works only the first page (or parent page) of the datagrid but when I am on say page no 2 or 4 or 10 etc... it doesn't work it comes with the following error:
System.Web.HttpException: Invalid CurrentPageIndex value. It must be >= 0 and < the PageCount.
My code for paging is as follows:
'***********************************************************************
Sub DataGrid_PageChanger(Source As Object, E As DataGridPageChangedEventArgs)
' Set the CurrentPageIndex before binding the grid
DataGrid.CurrentPageIndex = E.NewPageIndex
Refreshgrid(Cint(ddlBranch.SelectedItem.Value),txtsearch.text)
End Sub
'***********************************************************************
Any suggestions?
Thanks a ton!!!

Hello all. I've been programming for quite a while now, but I'm stuck wiht something and I need some help.
I have a program in which users add information into a database type thing. The information they are adding is going to be mainly one of the items in an arraylist, but not always.
I need some code that will do like an "auto complete" type thing. If there is an item with "Hello" in the arraylist and the user types in an "H", "ello" will appear, selected. If "Howdy" is also in the arraylist and they add a "o" to the "H", (making the text box text "Ho"), I need a "wdy" to appear, selected.
Basically, an autocomplete feature.
Please help me with this!!

How are the users entering the data? Is it on a .NET form? If so, try using a ComboBox control. It can do most of what you want.
